5 Backstory Ideas for Your Sorcerer in Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)
The Sorcerer is the quick-casting, highly volatile arcane caster. Unlike the Wizard, the Sorcerer didn’t learn their magic through study. Instead, inherited bloodlines surfaced, whether passed down each generation, or dormant for centuries. The Sorcerer benefits from being able to twist their spells with metamagic or by being able to vary the number of spells they can cast each day. However, they lack spells known overall. The Sorcerer has lower HP than most classes, and has to be protected in combat, but will pay off by high damage ceilings.

Here are five intriguing ideas to use in your game, or to build off of to create a unique character you’ll love to play.

Kaldheim is coming!
Another quarter, another Magic: The Gathering set! I know the official release date is February 5th, but (if game stores are still offering SOMETHING) the pre-release date is January 29th, which is still within my birthday month ... and, considering this is a Norse mythology/viking-themed set, and I am 1/8th Norwegian, you can probably guess that I MUST treat myself to ALL of the cards next week!

The 5 Awful Paladins You Will Meet in Your Gaming Career
The paladin. Originally a term used to refer to the 12 Peers of Charlemagne (more on that in What is a Paladin?), the idea of these characters has grown and changed in our stories over the years. Whether we see them as shining knights on white chargers, leather-clad monster hunters protecting the populace, or as gruff warriors with a heart of gold beneath their beard stubble and growling voices, paladins take many forms.

What Are The Rules For Playing Billiards?
Basic start or a foul stroke. A ball is "potted" when the ball knocks it into a pocket. A "canon" is when the ball strikes first one ball then the opposite. Whenever the red ball is potted, it's immediately returned to the red spot for the next strike.

Scythe: The Cost of Love and War
There is a game you absolutely love and cherish. You want to see it in top form, so their first impressions will blow the minds of your friends and family. Even though the game looks smashing with its natural pieces and in vanilla scent, superficially you feel dressing it up may help break the initial awkwardness. Scythe from Stonemaier Games is that game for me.
